The actual vote for independence took place on July 2, 1776. It is written in the journal of the Congress. The Declaration of Independence document was adopted July 4, 1775.
What day is independance day on?
July 4, 1776. The date that Congress approved of and adopted the written Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Many believe that it should be July 2, 1776, because that's when the Declaration of Independence was adopted by a voice vote.
When was the Declaration of Independence signed into effect?
If one means the formal pronouncement by the Continental Congress that the colonies are independent, then it is July 2, 1776, when a voice vote was taken on declaring independence. If one means the document itself, then it would be July 4, 1776, when the written document was approved by all delegates and John Hancock and Charles Thomson signed it to authenticate it as a pronouncement of the Congress so it could be printed and distributed to the states and armies. The copy with the 56 signers names did nothing to alter or confirm either the July 2 vote or the July 4 adoption of the document.
When did the second continental congress approve the declaration of independence?
Actual independence was declared by the Second Continental Congress on July 2, 1776. On that date, a resolution to declare independence from Great Britain was passed by a voice vote. The journals of the Second Continental Congress record this vote. The written Declaration was then authorized in order to make it known to the world that the colonies had declared their independence and give the reasons for doing so. John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 will be forever remembered as the day of independence and celebrated with parties and fireworks. He was off by two days even though he was actually correct.
The date continental Congress pass Resolution of Independence?
Yes. It was that day in which , in my opinion, the greatest country of all, The United States of America, declared its independence from Great Britain. Thus Sparking the American Revolutionary War (which had begun, but not fully). Which lasted from Dawn of April 19, 1775, to 1783.
